The heaviness in Yu Bai's heart caused by his fourth brother Yu Cheng's "conspiracy" did not last long.
She has never been one to indulge in emotions, not to mention that she has more important things to do.
In the following days, Yu Bai completely took root in the Military Region General Hospital.
The special care conditions at the military hospital are excellent, but she still insists on feeding herself water and food and wiping her body.
This was done to make the hospital staff think that Yu Cheng was still working hard to recover, and on the other hand to prevent the fact that he had already recovered from being discovered.
As for the truth behind Yu Cheng's injury, Yu Bai thought about it again and again and only revealed it secretly to his elder brother Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng was silent for a long time on the line, and only replied: "I know. I'm at home. Let him recover from his injuries in peace, and be careful yourself."
Yu Bai did not reveal a single word to his mother Zhou Fengxia and other people at home.
The old lady has worried about them all her life. Now she can finally enjoy a few days of peace and quiet. Yu Bai really can't bear to make her worry any longer and disrupt this rare peace.
During this period, in addition to taking care of Yu Cheng, Yu Bai was also busy.
She took the time to pack the incense sticks she had rolled by hand into exquisite small portions and sent them out one by one.
The recipients included Li Baizhong, Wang Yinian, Qian Ying, and several buyers who had bought her antiques at the auction.
The reason for giving it is also very simple - thank you for your care, a little thought.
The incense sticks she gave out were packaged in a simple and unremarkable way. Most people who received them would just think of them as a token of their appreciation from the younger generation and put them aside without paying any immediate attention to them.
Unexpectedly, just two days later, Yu Bai’s personal communicator exploded like a pot of boiling water and was almost blown up!
One after another, strange communication requests and messages came in, most of them with a tone of surprise, inquiry, and even a bit of urgency, but with only one core content.
"Miss Yu, do you still have the incense sticks you gave me? Would you like to sell them?!"
Yu Bai looked at the flashing prompts on the communicator, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
The first person to discover the mystery of this incense stick was actually Li Baizhong.
Li Baizhong is old and has never had good sleep. He often tosses and turns and cannot fall asleep all night.
When he received the incense sticks from Yu Bai, he didn't think much of it and just thought of it as a toy for the younger generation.
It happened that he really couldn't sleep that night, and in his upset mood he simply took out a cigarette and lit it, hoping to calm his mind with the curling smoke.
Who would have thought that just for a moment after the incense stick was lit, a faint and elegant fragrance spread out.
Li Baizhong felt that the irritability in his heart had miraculously subsided.
What surprised him even more was that he slept through the night without even dreaming. When he woke up, he felt refreshed, as if he were ten years younger!
"Is it an illusion?"
Li Baizhong was suspicious, after all, the effect was too immediate.
Over the next two days, he tried it twice more.
The result was without exception: as long as he lit the incense stick, he could fall asleep quickly and his sleep quality was extremely high.
Now, Li Baizhong could no longer sit still!
This is not just any ordinary incense stick, it is a magical tool to help you sleep and calm your mind!
He immediately and excitedly told his old friend Wang Yinian about this amazing discovery.
After hearing this, Wang Yinian dubiously took out the incense stick that Yu Bai had given him from the corner.
His situation was different from that of Mr. Li. In his early years, he participated in archaeological excavations in harsh environments and stayed in cold and damp tombs all year round. His hands and feet were affected by the cold, and he developed an old problem of dull pain in his joints when it was cloudy and rainy.
It has become more and more serious in recent years, and has even developed to the point where there is a tingling sensation like needles pricking me in the morning and evening, which is very torturous.
That night, Wang Yinian also lit a stick of incense.
The next morning, Wang Yinian was awakened by the bright sunlight outside the window.
He sat up dazedly and subconsciously moved his hands and feet, preparing for the familiar tingling sensation.
However, one second, two seconds, three seconds passed...
The expected pain did not appear!
Wang Yinian's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.
He hurriedly moved his wrists and ankles again, but still felt no pain. Instead, he felt warmth in his joints and indescribably comfortable!
“This… How is this possible?!”
Wang Yinian could hardly believe his feelings.
The stubborn old illness that had tormented him for most of his life actually just... disappeared?
The value of this incense stick instantly rose to an immeasurable level in his mind!
Not only Li Baizhong and Wang Yinian, but Qian Ying is also one of them.
She is busy with her daily affairs and often feels chest tightness and shortness of breath.
After getting the incense, I lit one casually.
As the subtle fragrance was inhaled into her lungs, she felt her breathing was smoother and she felt refreshed all day long, and even her work went more smoothly.
For a time, the miraculous effect of this nameless incense spread quickly in the small circle like wings.
Among the first few buyers who received the incense sticks, some tried it out of curiosity, while others just lit it casually. Without exception, they all had miraculous effects.
News spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
Some who were initially skeptical or simply curious asked those who had incense in their hands for a few sticks.
"Lao Zhang, I heard you have some magical incense? Can you give me two sticks to try?"
"Director Wang, is your incense really that potent? Let me smell it!"
Even if you don't ask for anything else, the immediate effect of helping you sleep is enough to attract people.
Who doesn’t have an elderly person in their family who has trouble sleeping, or a middle-aged person who is under a lot of pressure?
In this case, it is not surprising that Yu Bai’s phone was bombarded with calls from all walks of life.
However, faced with the purchase requests that came in like snowflakes, Yu Bai unexpectedly chose to postpone it.
"Miss Yu, how much is this incense? Name your price!"
"I'll pay double!"
"As long as you're willing to give me some, the conditions are negotiable!"
The other end of the phone was full of anxiety and desire.
Yu Bai simply replied: "This incense is not easy to make, and we don't have any left at the moment."
Rare goods are valuable, and what's more, this incense is not just a simple commodity to her.
Fourth brother Yu Cheng used himself as a chess piece and carried out an "open strategy".
This incense stick is also her "open strategy" to consolidate her personal connections and weave a network of relationships.
Now that it's starting to show its effectiveness, can't we just throw out all our cards and make it a pure cash-for-goods deal?
What she wants is people's hearts, favors that can be used at critical moments.
With this in mind, Yu Bai not only did not sell a single cent, but instead took advantage of his free time in the hospital to rush to make a batch of incense sticks.
It was still the same simple packaging, and the same people. She sent another copy one by one according to the previous list.
The postscript was still simple: "I appreciate your kindness and want to express my gratitude."
As for those who received double the incense sticks, whether they used them for themselves, gave them as gifts, or used them to do favors was not within Yu Bai's consideration.
What she wants is this kind of kindness that "helps in time of need" and "adds icing on the cake".
She only needed to know that at this moment, all those who received her "generous gift" remembered Yu Bai's kindness in their hearts.
That's enough.
